Re: Is this safe?
Mercrude, <br />I have a 1962 75HP v4 Evinrude (starflite, right?) I have the same issue. I have removed the lower unit and have removed the housing...the one with the cav plate. I am having the hole in mine welded. Mostly for piece of mind as the gearcase had NO water in it.<br /><br />Anyway...If you need ANY part numbers for your motor...I have a parts manual that covers both your and my motors. Just let me know.<br /><br />damren@wiscasset.net
